Welcome to a shared experience of the Field.   In this workshop, Dr. Rohini Kanniganti offers poetry, inquiry and meditative stillness to guide you through Energy layers of Presence.   There is no protocol that can teach presence with more potency than the lived experience of a connecting, breathing love in community.   Our hope in this workshop is to support each participant to feel more established in the ground of their being so that they can be even more devoted and stable as guides for those experiencing expanded states of consciousness.   Participants are deeply invited to offer their unique knowing and unfolding to weave into our collective Field.   

Objectives:

1. Name and experience Presence at the gross, subtle and causal layers
2. Name and experience 5 energy layers from the Ayurvedic perspective
3. Name and experience 5 layers of inner expansion, “ABCDE”, transmuting Emergency to Emergence

Speaker Bio:

Dr. Rohini Kanniganti, MD, MSPH, HMDC (she/her) is a mother, physician, teacher, and poet — a living bridge between science and the sacred. Rooted in her Vedic ancestral lineage and a life of deep service, she offers presence as her primary transmission. As a “love radiator” and joyful Cheerleader of Self, I celebrate every layer of our being — physical and emotional body, breath, the ego’s innocent patterns, wisdom, laughter, and co-creativity with the Infinite.   

Rohini is a Board Certified Family Physician, serving in Hospice and Integrative Psychiatry.   She has been a Hospice and Palliative Care physician for over a decade, currently working with the Mountain Valley Hospice and Palliative Care in NC and Trailwinds Hospice in Boulder, CO.    She is a fellow of the Integrative Psychiatry Institute (IPI, Boulder, CO), where she completed the Integrative Psychiatry Certification, Ketamine Provider Certification and the Psychedelic Assisted Therapy Program.  She serves  at the Integrative Psychiatry Institute as Faculty and Lead Physician for the Ketamine Experiential Program.   Rohini is the Palliative Advisor for TheraPsil, Canada, and Faculty for the End of Life Psychedelic Care Program, and Relationship Resources in Woodstock NY, supporting the the Cultivating Joy Retreat series.   She has been interviewed on "The Higher Practice Podcast", "TCN Talks”, “The Conscious Physician Podcast” and “Tromedy".  She also has her own podcast series (with composer Claire Bigley), “The Sound and The Healing”, and a YouTube Channel (with Chaplain Mark Brown) called “Cultivating Grace”.  She is a co-facilitator for an online spiritual community, “Cultivating Presence”. Rohini lives in Boulder, CO,  finding joy in playfulness, creativity and nature. 

This offering, a conversation between Regina and Rohini, builds on the beautiful tapestry of presence begun in Dr. Rohini Kanniganti's workshop "An Invitation to the Nectar Called Presence" by expanding on how the embodiment of Self, or presence, is at the core of IFS (Internal Family Systems) healing work. IFS is much more than "parts work"; parts work without Self presence is not IFS. The innate healing intelligence we refer to in medicine work is what is known as Self in IFS, and also Self is much more than that. Regina and Rohini expand on points introduced in the previous workshop by providing IFS framework and terminology to topics such as: embracing our own messiness; being aware of and working with our egos when they show up in medicine work; and understanding how both journeyers and sitters access healing through the sitter's intentional embodiment of Self energy. 

Objectives: 

By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to:

• List the 8 C and 5 P qualities of Self energy
• Explain how a sitter or facilitator's embodiment of Self helps to create optimal conditions for healing
• Know how to work with their own systems (parts) so that they can be as Self-led as possible in medicine sessions

Regina Wei, LMFT (she/they), is a Level 3 IFS trained Couples and Family Therapist with a post-graduate certification in Sex Therapy and Psychedelic Assisted Therapy.  Born and raised in a suburb of Seattle on the unceded ancestral lands of the Duwamish people, Regina is a second generation Chinese American who identifies as neurodiverse and queer; they acknowledge their privilege as a well-educated, fair-skinned, straight-passing individual.

The many years that Regina lived in Mongolia, China, Thailand, and Hawai'i fundamentally shaped how they move about in the world while also informing their approach to working with sacred plant medicines. Their Chinese ancestry and experiences living in non-Western (predominantly Buddhist) cultures provide a deep spiritual foundation that supports them in slowing down, staying connected with Nature, and prioritizing a collective/communal approach to healing.

Regina's background includes classroom teaching as well as practicing and teaching meditation, yoga, and energy healing. Their practice centers folx who identify as BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and/or neurodiverse and focuses on healing racial, intergenerational, sexual, and other traumas.
